The Arrowhead 135 is one of the gnarliest things you can put yourself through. Just imagine 20+ hours of riding a fat bike in -25 degree weather; not something I’d be inclined to partake in. The guys at 45NRTH have some amazing photos chronicling the race and Jay’s victory. Be sure to check those out as well as the article.

Yep, you read that correctly. This Saturday December 7th has been declared “Global Fat Bike Day” and since my friends at Old Spokes love fat bikes so much, they’ve decided to hold a little ride this Saturday at 8:00 am leaving from the shop located at 322 N. Winooski Ave here in Burlington, VT. Head over to the Facebook event for more info!

Seeing this titanium fat bike by Black Sheep Bikes is really making me regret selling my fat bike; okay, well only sort of. I’ll likely own another fatty in the future, but in the mean time some of my other loves needed some serious TLC, so they took precedence.

Anyway, if you think this Phat Luna is wild you need to seesome of James and Todd’s other work (if you haven’t already)! I saw a few of their bikes out at the 2013 NAHBS and was blown away. They even took home the “Best Titanium” and “Best Tandem” awards! See more of their work over on their gallery page!

Say what you will about fat bikes, I’m a fan and love seeing the array of custom builds such as this custom Pugsley. While I’m not entirely sure that my fat bike will have a permanent home in my stable, I’ve been having a lot of fun on it so far; so we’ll see. Anyway, this fattie is a fully customized from the paint done by Swamp to the singlespeed Paul x Large Marge wheels; I’m really feelin’ the Black Floyds too. Check out a few more details below, and see some more crazy custom builds here.

Fat bikes were out in full force this year at NAHBS. With so many variations, it was hard to take in all at once. Denver’s own 38 Frameworks had quite the impressive carbon fat bike on display called the Hogback. This USA made, aerospace grade carbon frame is built around 170mm rear spacing (like most of the newer fatties these days) and can run 4.7″ tires with no problem. The frame alone weighs only 3.5 pounds too (medium). As always, more photos below.

I’d first like to apologize at the infrequency of posts here lately – things have been a little bit busy, but rest assured, I’ve got quite the “backlog” of stuff I’ve been meaning to share (and some new products for sale – more on that later). Plus, I’ve been getting ready for NAHBS and couldn’t be more excited to get out there. In the meantime, it’s been snowing here in VT so why not share this video of a couple guys gettin’ fat right here in Vermont?

Happy Friday – enjoy the snow this weekend if you’re in the northeast.

I forgot to check the weather for Monday and ended up leaving work with 3+ inches of fresh snow on the streets. My ankle has finally been feeling good enough to do some light activity, so I figured a little cruise around BHS was in order. The snow was nice and light, barely tracked too. No matter what you’re riding, I’d recommend getting out and enjoying the new snow.
